Bo Porter a fan of MLB’s expanded instant replay policy

“I think it’s going to be good for baseball,” Porter said of the decision that was announced Thursday. “I think you (in the media) all know I’m a complete advocate of getting it right. I think it’s the next step of Major League Baseball wanting to have the best entertainment for our fans.”

Porter, who is set to begin his second season as the Astros’ manager, liked what he heard about the instant replay expansion when baseball officials briefed managers on the changes last December at the winter meetings in Orlando.

“Everybody walked away with a sense that this is really going to be good for the game,” Porter said. “It’s going to allow us the ability to get calls right. When you can walk away knowing that the right call was made, I think everybody feels good about that.”
